Is it normal that i need to sleep tied up?

after many many months of being in an abusive relationship, I find it very hard for me to sleep at all unless i'm restrained similarly to when I was in the relationship. IIN? Are there others who feel this way?

    I think see a therapist.

    I'm sorry you were treated like that :( I'm glad you're away from it now.

    It sounds like you were conditioned to it. With time you should be able to be able to sleep without it.

    Good luck.

    • As long as he stays locked up I have nothing to worry about, right?

        I have no idea how to answer that.

        I hope that you can feel safe again.

        • Sorry for asking that. I ask a lot of people who are close to me that and I feel like they are giving me false hope. I'm not really sure how to feel.

            You don't need to be aorry. I don't have an answer because i don't know what your situation is.

            I think it would be normal not to know how to feel. I'm glad you've got support. Maybe some counselling would help? Objective view and whatnot.
